Was watching this
http://www.spike.com/full-episodes/2ega75/powerblock-horsepower-460-payoff-and-ls1-carb-conversion-season-1-ep-410

So now that i want to do this the only problem is i cant find any of the parts they were using(i just have no luck-_-) plus i figured this be a fun conversion. So voice your opinions

This is going to be a cheaper option is you have a complete fuel injected ls1.

Here is the front cover to convert to a distributor.

One of the magazines did a build a few months back. Stock LQ9 with that setup made 415 HP and like 450 TQ. They did a mild cam and made 470/470ish. Heads set it to 515/490.

If you want, next time I'm pooping in the bathroom at work I'll grab it.

415 crank... that was just converting to the carb/intake/ignition though.
Cammed it made 470/470 (or more) crank... and they even mentioned it was a very mild cam (think it only built power til just north of 6 grand).

Here is the link to open with Adobe Reader... I believe it did 490/460 with a cam. Mild cam too, only pulled to 6 grand.
